Michael "Mike" Maloney RIP

Dear Friends,

It is with great sadness that we mourn the passing of our dear friend, Michael "Mike" Maloney, Board Director of the Mayo Association Inc. of Chicago.

Mike, a proud Donegal man, was a lifetime member of the Mayo Association and a long-serving member of its Board of Directors. He devoted countless hours to the Association, generously giving his time and energy to its many functions, social gatherings, and charitable events. Mike's caring, compassionate, and friendly nature endeared him to everyone on the Mayo Board and throughout the Association. His dedication, generosity, and unwavering support will be deeply missed.

On behalf of the Mayo Association Inc. of Chicago, we extend our heartfelt condolences to his wife, Judy, his sons James, Michael, Colm, and Brian, the extended Maloney and Miller families, and Mike's many friends.

Please join us in honoring and celebrating Mike's life by forming an Honor Guard immediately following the 10:00 a.m. Funeral Mass on Friday, August 7, at Divine Infant Catholic Church, 1601 Newcastle Avenue, Westchester, IL 60154.

All members and friends are kindly asked to assemble outside the church following Communion.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
